This "Oh my god" case houses a mechanism by one of the foremost makers of the late 1800's. The good news is this case is amazingly complete. The bad - well, it was painted black at some point, and has pretty much fallen apart. A dear friend volunteered to strip off the black paint, paving the way for the restoration documented in this gallery. Fortunately, the case was amazingly complete, missing only the tips of a few carved leaves and one piece of molding. Check out the photos of it’s restoration!
